Furthermy invention resides in the fol i .bwmg features of construction,arrangement and operation as will be hereinafter described -w1th reference to the accompanying drawing, in which like characters are used to indicate like products throughoutthe several fi ures. and in which- Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through the upper poftion of the typewriter showing my iti'rprovements attached thereto.

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of my improved mechanism; Fig. 3 is a fragmentary plan view of a connection to be hereinafter described. Fig. l is a perspective view of one of the brackets for attaching my improved mechanism to the typewriter carriage. Fig. is a front elevation of my improved mechanism. Fig. 6 is a detail'sectional view of parts to be hereinafter specifically refered to.

Fig. 7 is an elevation of one of the paper roll brackets, and Fig. 3 is'an'elevation, part in section of one of the roll hold-ing shafts.

Referring to the acrompanying drawing Ali'epresentsthe top frame of a ty )ewriter provided with the usual carriage rolls B on which is mounted the carriage C. The'earriage C as usual. comprises a frame composed of suitable bars 0 supporting within themselves the platen D.

In the practical embodiment of my invention I employ a U shaped supporting frame 1' having arranged between the upstanding legs 2 thereof, a central shaft 3 in adjustable bearings 4. Thepaper roll brackets 5 are pivotally mounted by-means of single apertures 6' uponthe shaft 3 adjacent. each leg 2 of the supporting frame and having recesses 7 at each end thereof for-the reception of the paper roll shafts 8rem0vably therein, each of said paper roll shafts 8 having a handle 9 on one end thereof on a tapered end l0 adapted to receivo'thereon a lapering conical sleeve ll for securely holding the. paper roll The paper rolls 12 are preferably provided with U shaped rod fralnes 13 extending from openings 14 in the roll brackets 5 adjacent their central openings 6 and pressed tightly against said paper rolls 12 to prevent the paper from un-' rolhng, by means of springs 15 extendmg from and coiled about the central shaft 3 at one end thereof between the bracket 5 and. its bearing 4.

The rolls 12, as shown are arranged to feed the paper therefrom in superposed layers, between which a carbon may be mserted, over the rear end shield of the typewriter and beneath and around the platen D,.the)supporting frame 1 being adjust-' ably held Within the ends of horizontally extending frames 16 between .which the paper is fed from rolls 12. The frames 16 carry at their forward ends in bearings 17 the outwardly extending curved supporting rods 18 having the cutter bar 19' secured at the ends thereof and adapted to lay above the platen D in position to read-.

ily sever the paper when the same has been projected upwardly by the rotative movement of said platen to present the desired point to be cut against said cutter bar 19 as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The frames 16 are further formed at their-rear ends with awidened portion bent back upon itself to form a c ipped heading for the reception of the supporting frame 1, said widened portion being provided with alined rests 21 offset from its frame 16 and adapted to receive therein a threaded stud 22 upstanding from brackets 23 designed to be attached to a rear member 1 of the carriage C of the typewriter, and provided that the outstanding legs 2i are adapted to rest upon said member C as shown, to steady the entire mechanism. 3

I do notwish to limit myself with the specific n'i'anner of attaching my improvements to a typewriter as herein shown and described, for the reason that the same may be attached to other typewriters by a slight change well within the spirit of this invention, inasmuch as the several elements are readily adjustable. particularly the main supporting frame 1 within the clips 20 and the roll holding brackets and their central shafts 3 upon the le s 2 of the supporting frame by means of the bearings t, mounted a supportin ,frafneconsistin U-shaped ro adapted to be (i said brackets carrying paper rolls detaching frame and carrying brackets swingingly paper rolls, substantially as and for the 'adjus'tably secured to the 'carria e of a typeby said car.
